On Monday morning at a little past two o’clock, death visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Amdahl, of this city and took from it their little daughter, Elizabeth, aged three years who since Tuesday of last week was ill with pneumonia. The funeral will be held today from the home, the services to be conducted by Rev. Thompson and the burial will be in the East Side cemetery. Elizabeth Marie was one of a pair of twins, boy and girl.
